Zheng Zhan led the horse, the spring was warm, and the Caomen Street outside the Donghua Gate was shoulder to shoulder, and people came and went. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he walked in the bustling street for a while before he slowly came back to life.

By the time he walked to the Song Gate, he had already gone through the recent events in his mind.

Now is not the time for his grandfather to be the general of the auxiliary country, the matter is related to the royal family, and for a while, he can't think of any way to deal with it.

For the first time, Zheng Chan regretted it a little.

I thought that as long as I didn't take the imperial examination, didn't ask for shade, and didn't look for old recommendations, the Zheng family would be able to slowly fade out of the court, and relying on the afterglow and wealth of the past generations, he could also be a real idle rich man. But he didn't expect that sometimes, even if you don't look for something, things will come to you.

He once felt that power and title were the beginning of disputes, and because of this, the Auxiliary General's Mansion would die on the battlefield, but today, he suddenly found that if there was no power, when the crisis came, he didn't even have the strength to struggle.

Last time, he was forced by royal pressure to defile himself in a hurry, which led to today's fate. Next time, how will he deal with other problems?

At this time, the Zheng family's disciples and contacts had no way to help him make a more in-depth analysis. Zheng Zhan looked up at the sky, saw that it was not too late, thought for a moment, suddenly turned on his horse, and went straight to Huiyuan.

In the Protector's Mansion, it took Mrs. Chen several days to finally settle down the family, and after thinking about it, she recalled what Mrs. Zhao said at the reception banquet a few days ago, and she was a little undecided.

She called her nurse over and consulted.

"I see what the old lady means, as if I think we are just here to run for the old man this time." She was entangled, "I thought it was too simple at the beginning, but now that I have really entered Beijing, I know that things are not so easy." ”

The nurse asked, "What are you worried about?" ”

"The lord and his sister went early, and they didn't leave a man and a woman, although the Protector Mansion is a serious in-law with the Gu family, but after so many years, the second mother was given by the sister-in-law again...... No, the two families have not had the intimacy they used to be, you see this time when she entered the house, the old lady made a beautiful face, and said a lot about the scene, but she didn't give a promise. ”

She had a headache as she spoke.

"I originally thought, go to the mansion first, and mention Chengming and Chengxin to find the academy in a few days, it just so happens that Zhou Yanzhi of the Zhou family is also there, they are of the same age, Chengming has a stable temperament, and Chengxin has a good temperament, there is always one who can fall in love with him, maybe I don't want to mention it when the time comes, Zhou Yanzhi will also ask a few words, and the matter will naturally be over."

"It turned out to be good, we arrived in the capital, and it won't be long before the results of the spring festival will come out, and then we will pick a good pick among the new recruits, and Lianhan's husband will also be available, it's really not good, please ask Mrs. Zhao to help palm your eyes, the Huguo Mansion has been in the capital for so many years, and it is just a breeze to find a mother-in-law for Lianhan."

Mrs. Chen sighed, "It is said that people are old and fine, this old lady really refuses to eat at all, as soon as she comes to the table, she will say it clearly, what is the old age, it is useless, every day only at home to tease her grandson, even the family affairs are in charge of the granddaughter...... I don't even dare to ask her for a post now. You said that you can't get the post of the Protector Mansion, what is the point of us living here? I owe a favor for nothing! ”

When the nurse heard this, she hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be stupid, although I have only been in the capital for a few days, I can understand it, this boundary is very muddy, you brought the young master and girl all the way over, but you can't move out because of some cold words." It is said that no one asks about the poor in the city, and the rich have distant relatives in the deep mountains, this Protector's Mansion is really the home of Zhong Ming Dingshi, you see the girl in the mansion, is it called Zhou Qin? Usually the people who come and go are the daughters of the three grades, how many guards do they take with them when they go out? Even if you see a guest, or in the house, you have to follow seven or eight girls behind. Yesterday, someone came to give her something, I happened to see the carriage outside the house, and when I went out to inquire, it was the carriage in He Shangshu's mansion, and there was a concubine in the house! I heard that the concubine was still a close friend of Zhou Qin's boudoir. ”

Mrs. Chen waved her hand, "I'm not stupid, how could I think about moving out, just a little uncomfortable to hear her say this during the banquet." ”

She touched the bracelet in her hand and beat a side drum in her heart, "I originally thought that I wanted to help Lianhan choose a new son-in-law, but now I know that the capital is prosperous, and it is really difficult to compare." Now for a pair, not everyone can mix up, and the master is also from Jinshi, but after mixing for decades, it is just an outlet, and he can't even be called a big man. It is better to find a descendant of idle nobles in the capital and enjoy the blessings, so as not to wander around like me. ”

The nurse thought for a while and said, "The rest is not so important, although the girl is not young, it is not bad for a few months, and the dispatch of the master will not be able to have a clue for a while, but the two young masters have to think of a way to study first, why don't you talk to the old lady about this first, and give the academy down." ”

Mrs. Chen nodded. She also meant this in her heart, but when she thought of talking to Old Madam Zhao, she felt that it was difficult to speak.

After a few days, she packed up a few beautiful pieces of ink and went to find Mrs. Zhao.

"I was in a hurry the day I first came, and I forgot about this thing." She said with a smile, while letting people hold things forward, she pointed to the ink block and said, "It's my lord who used to be an official on Jiangnan East Road, and he saved some good ink, he divided it into three parts, and the rest was given to the two who were not angry, and the other one was specially instructed to bring us Yanzhi when I came over this time." ”

Her tone was affectionate, "I also deliberately wrote a note to seal it at the time, wrapped it in the middle of the soft, I was afraid of bumping it, who knew that the package was too good, and when it arrived, I forgot about it." ”

Mrs. Zhao said with a smile: "He is a little child, where can he use so much, and the good things that he saved so easily, give Chengming and credit, and try to be auspicious when he ends up in the future, isn't it good?" ”

Mrs. Chen pursed her lips, "They also have it, and they brought it to Yanzhi, although it is rare, no matter how good the object is, it must be used to be valuable, and if you push it again, it will be a foreign way." ”

Old Madam Zhao no longer refused, and asked Zhou Yanzhi to come over.

Zhou Yanzhi generously handed down the few pieces of ink and thanked Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen waved her hand again and again, and said: "In the past, the old man said that when he was young, he had to use a good pen and ink to practice calligraphy, so that he knew how to cherish it, and he knew how to write with his heart with his strokes, otherwise with those ordinary paper and pencils, the writing would be casual and a waste of effort." ”

Zhou Yanzhi smiled and should be.

Mrs. Chen said again: "My two sons have been here for a few days now, and they haven't bothered you, right?" ”

Zhou Yanzhi shook his head and said, "The two cousins have good temperaments and are easy to get along with. ”
